St Pancras Way Estate, Camden

An outdoor, immersive, and site responsive project on a housing estate in Camden.
Our audiences were invited to enter the central playground and divided into factions by wristbands of different colours.  Here we are introduced to our main 4 factions – Hackers, Fixers, Gardeners, and Voyagers as well as the Mayor of St Pancras Way, and their entourage.
Once divided into factions, they split into their separate spaces to explore, play games, and resolve clues and queries within the plot.
The Mayor enjoys their level of power, and wants to ensure peace and prosperity to the residents, but all isn’t as it appears.  The voyagers arrive from the future to inform present day factions about the danger the estate and its inhabitants faces in the future.  Our audience, now broken off into their factions, must work together to save their estate, but the mayor has a trick up their sleeve.  Can the factions come together to defeat the beast and restore peace?
